When Justus Morse was in his early twenties, he, with some youn
g men friends, went to one of a series of "Mormon" meetings bein
g held in their neighborHood. Their main idea in going was to ha
ve a good time and cause a disturbance. Justus took with him a l
ittle music box, all wound upand ready to turn on during the se
rmon. He became so interested in what was being said that he for
got all about his music box, and before the last meetingwas ove
r, he had become a convert to the Church. He was baptized in 183
3.
He went to Jackson County, Missouri, to live, but was driven awa
y by mobs,along with the other Saints. He was forced to sign ov
er the deed to his forty-acre farm at Far West, the only paymen
t received being an eight Day clock. In 1834 he went with Zion'
s Camp back to Jackson County, and when the group was disbanded
, he, with Amasa Lyman, William Cahoon, Solon Foster and Amos Ho
gges, worked there that summer.
About the time that Joseph Smith was martyred, Justus went to Ma
ntua, Ohio and spent that winter at the home of a Mr. Bissel. I
n April, 1845, Justus took his family and left for Texas with Ly
man Wight's company. They stopped and one of his sons went hunti
ng for fresh meat.As they climbed along the sun came up, and so
mething shone on the other sideof the valley. Thinking it migh
t be moisture in a bear track, they made theirway to it. Justu
s was startled to find a clear stone of great brilliance. Hetoo
k it back and hid it in his wagon, and leaving the company, turn
ed North again.
He had the stone assayed at several places and was told that i
t was a diamond of the first water, second to the largest then k
nown, and worth about $25,000. Not daring to stay in one place o
r mix with people, he made hisway on to Salt Lake City. There h
e gave the stone to Brigham Young and toldhim to use it for spr

After this he went on to settle in SanBernardino, California. Y
